Interstate League

The Interstate League was the name of five different American minor baseball leagues that played intermittently from 1896 through 1952.

•

The longest tenured of these was the last incarnation, which played in the Middle Atlantic States from 1939 through 1952, and was one of the few mid-level minor leagues to operate continuously during the World War II period.

•

This circuit, which began as Class C and was upgraded to Class B in 1940, typically had teams in Allentown, Harrisburg, Lancaster and Sunbury, all in Pennsylvania; Hagerstown, Maryland; Trenton, New Jersey; and Wilmington, Delaware.

•

In addition, a Class C Interstate Association existed for one season, 1906, in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio.
